Note: Columns may not add due to rounding Note: From 1 January 2010, the Government replaced the Northern Territory’s current bookmaker turnover tax with a tax based on gross wagering profits. The Government has capped the tax each Corporate Bookmaker has to pay to a maximum of $250,000 ($125,000 from January 2010 to June 2010), which is subject to annual indexation based on the Darwin consumer price index. Note: Wagering tax is the amount generated in the period specified, not the amount received. The 2007-08 and 2008-09 turnover, gross profit and tax in this report varies from previously published reports due to retrospective adjustments for Centrebet and Omiros Mairou. * Return of On-Course Bookmaker (June 2010) was received after 2009-10 financial years was finalised. $4,067 was reported for Turnover, $613 was reported for Gross Profit and $13,56 was reported for Taxes. * Totalisator Gross Profit is calculated at 16% of Turnover, Tax is calculated at 32% of Gross Profit.

The 2008-09 Casinos expenditure in this report varies from previously published reports due to correction of transcription errors and incorrect reporting of commission play. The 2007-08 and 2008-09 race and sports betting expenditure in this report varies from previously published reports due to approved retrospective adjustments for Centrebet and Omiros Mairou. Table 22 disaggregates the Territory’s gambling expenditure (or net player loss) into different gambling forms. It is evident that player losses vary across the different forms of gambling because some forms of gambling are based on chance and probabilities, while others have elements of skill and judgement, so the likelihood of losing is not always the same. These differences also explain why there is not necessarily a direct correlation between the spread of turnover and the spread of expenditure. For example, race betting represented 51 per cent of the amount wagered in 2009 with only 38 per cent of player loss in 2009, while casinos contributed 17.5 per cent of gambling turnover in 2009 and 24 per cent of player loss in 2009. It should also be noted that NT licensed sports bookmakers operate internet-based businesses and record expenditures that are not in the main drawn from NT-based clients.
Department of Justice 29 2010/2011 Report to the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing Alcohol Management
Highlights 2010-11
Alcohol Management Plans In 2010-11, emphasis continued to be placed on working with local communities and stakeholders to expand Alcohol Management Plans (AMPs) throughout urban, regional and remote areas of the Northern Territory. In 2010-11, a total of 18 AMPs were under development and 21 were in place. Key highlights include:
supporting the Katherine Implementation Project and the local Region Action Group to develop initiatives for future plans to reduce alcohol misuse. The group will develop a regional plan and consider the development of a liquor accord for Katherine Township;
working with a range of remote communities and towns camps to develop, implement and strengthen AMPs;
reviewing the Tennant Creek AMP in line with evaluation conducted by the Menzies School of Health Research, including a number of related initiatives to reduce alcohol related issues;
supporting community based Alcohol Reference Groups to drive the AMP process and develop ways to address existing and emerging alcohol related harm that is specific to that community or region;
fostering community representation and a broad range of stakeholders to participate in Alcohol Reference Groups, including service providers, government organisations and industry representatives to lead the development and management of AMPs;
developing AMPs and related initiatives to build on successes and minimise the nature and extent of harm caused by the consumption of alcohol, through the use of an integrated approach which includes supply, demand and harm reduction strategies; and
in April 2011, the Menzies School of Health Research provided a draft report on the evaluation of the alcohol management system in East Arnhem. Data on alcohol related harm in Groote Eylandt showed that the alcohol management system is working. The initial major reduction in alcohol related harm has stabilised with a consistent trend of minimised alcohol related harm being apparent.
Department of Justice 30 2010/2011 Report to the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing Community Education A grant of $35,000 was provided to Larrakia Nation to undertake research and to provide community education on alcohol management initiatives.
A total of $20,000 was provided to Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation to develop educational tools in language and distribute to homelands in Kakadu.
A grant of $50,000 was provided to General Practice Network of NT to deliver Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) community education and mental health FASD Prevention in the Ali Curung community for young mothers and pregnant women.
A total of $2,000 was provided to the Barkly College to conduct a special Community Alcohol and Drug Education Day.
Provided $13,000 to the Drug and Alcohol Service Association Alice Springs to facilitate alcohol education and non-accredited drink driver education.
Alice Springs Town Council was granted $50,000 to support the “Alice Springs Tell Em That’s Enough” campaign.
A total of $250,000 was provided to continue Good Sports’ work with sporting clubs around responsible service of alcohol and changing the culture of drinking in sporting clubs.
Research and Policy Evaluation During 2010-11, a total of $146,000 was provided to the Menzies School of Health Research (Menzies) as part of a three-year partnership agreement aimed at building local knowledge and capacity in the area of alcohol use and misuse. In 2010-11, under this partnership agreement, Menzies completed the evaluations of the Katherine and Tennant Creek AMPs and undertook the evaluation of the alcohol management system in East Arnhem / Nhulunbuy.
The partnership between the NT Government and the Menzies School of Health Research aims to build on knowledge about alcohol misuse in the NT and reducing alcohol related harm. The research is essential to measure the effectiveness of NT Government programs, polices and services in reducing the harm that alcohol causes to the community.
Policy and Supply Measures Key Directions 2010-11 In September 2010, the NT Government announced a package of Alcohol Reforms to commence on 1 July 2011. “Enough is Enough” is a comprehensive strategy for tackling problem drinkers who cause alcohol related crimes and antisocial behaviour in the community, preventing them from accessing takeaway alcohol. Central to the package of alcohol reforms is the establishment of a system for banning problem drinkers, including the following initiatives:
Department of Justice 31 2010/2011 Report to the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing – initiated a Banned Drinker Register in takeaway outlets, installing equipment and providing training to industry employees;
– introduced legislative amendment to make the irresponsible supply of alcohol to minors an offence and increased penalties for grog running and illegal liquor sales;
– introduced new legislation to address underage drinking on licensed premises and deal with false and fake identification;
– banned the sale of four and five litre wine casks throughout the Northern Territory;
– amended the Liquor Act to create Designated Areas which have been introduced in Darwin, Palmerston and Alice Springs to address alcohol related violence and antisocial behaviour in public spaces and introduce measures such as banning problem drinkers;
– introduced a Public Restricted Area to ban public drinking and counter alcohol related antisocial behaviour in the Batchelor township;
– negotiated buy back of liquor licences for the BP Gap Service Station and Hoppy’s Cash Store in Alice Springs;
– worked closely with licensees in Alice Springs to review the liquor conditions for drinking on-premise and establish a trial electronic identification system to help identify problem customers;
– established Liquor Accords in Darwin, Palmerston, Casuarina, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs to provide the mechanisms to reduce the harmful effects of low price, high alcohol volume products such as cheap bottled wine. A Liquor Accord is also being developed in Katherine.
– In Alice Springs, 34 licensees are members of the Accord including the Casino, hotels, stores, clubs and restaurants. A similar accord has been established with licensees in Tennant Creek and the Barkly region. The Darwin CBD Liquor Accord includes issues such as responsible service and promotion of alcohol and ensuring the safety of customers, staff and other members of the community in and around licensed premises; and
– worked closely with licensees, service providers and members of community to introduce temporary restrictions for major community events to provide a safer environment.
Wholesale Alcohol Supply1
1 Since the previous publication, some data exceptions were detected in the alcohol returns submitted by wholesalers in previous years. Those wholesalers have since submitted revised returns and some duplicated records were deleted. The data revision resulted in minor changes to the previously published figures.
Department of Justice 32 2010/2011 Report to the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing Wholesalers registered to trade alcohol in the Northern Territory (NT) provide the Department of Justice with data on the volumes of alcohol supplied to licensed retailers by product type: cask wine, bottled wine, fortified wine, cider, standard spirits, pre-mixed spirits, full-strength beer, mid-strength beer and low-strength beer. The volume of each product supplied into the NT is multiplied by its estimated fraction of alcohol content so that the amount of pure alcohol associated with each product type can be compared. The figures presented in this document represent the wholesale supply in litres of Pure Alcohol Content (PAC). Wholesale PAC supply statistics are presented for the Territory as a whole; each of the following urban centres: Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Nhulunbuy; and for the NT Balance2. A measure of the apparent per capita consumption of alcohol in the NT is determined by dividing the total alcohol supplied into the Territory by an estimate of the population likely to be drinking. National statistics include those people aged 15 years and above as the likely drinking population. As the Territory is a major centre for tourism, the total NT population likely to be drinking is derived by adding the estimates of the interstate and international tourist numbers3 to the Australian Bureau of Statistics NT population estimates4 aged 15 years and over. Apparent consumption can only be reliably calculated for the whole of the Territory as population estimates may be unreliable at lower geographic levels. Where population figures are quoted for regional areas, they are the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated residential population of people aged 15 years and above.
Per Capita Consumption Table 23 and Chart 11 show the estimated per capita consumption of alcohol in the Northern Territory for the period 2003 to 2010. Table 23: Per Capita Consumption – Northern Territory

ID Takeaway Liquor System The ID System operates in Alice Springs and the Katherine region. The system enables the licensee to identify persons who have takeaway alcohol restrictions due to a prohibition or other court order, and ensures compliance with the liquor supply plan restrictions that limit the number of purchases of certain products such as cask wine and fortified wine.
Department of Justice 68 2010/2011 Report to the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing Electronic Liquor Permit System The liquor permit system operates in Nhulunbuy and East Arnhem and uses the same technology as the ID Takeaway Liquor system. In these regions however, takeaway alcohol can only be purchased by persons with a current liquor permit. Some individuals also have limits on the volume of liquor products they are allowed to purchase, and the system assists to ensure compliance with these restrictions.
